I can say that, for me, it is not a fad. The more I grew mentally and spiritually, the more I wanted my hair back. Plain & simple. My diet & outlook on life is also undergoing a gradual change. I didn't decide on this overnight, and I've tried before & given up.

I haven't permed my hair since August. I'm trying to keep it braided until the "inbetween" phase passes.

I agree w/ everyone who was saying that it's important not to diss permed/texturized/weaved sistas. There are very few of us that have had afros and kinks our whole lives. Most of us have had to make the transition in one way or another.

Bottom line is, I'm still the person I always was, perm or not. What's really sad is that people who may not have looked at/respected me before probably will once they see me w/ some twists in my head.
